A rosy macro Monday

The roses have been blooming like mad lately, and I've been out there taking photos of them like a maniac. Morning. Noon (when the light mostly sucks and I know it, but) Evening. When they're dry. When they are fresh from being watered. Buds, bloom, post bloom, rose hips, it's all good.

In a world full of ugliness, it shouldn't hurt your feelings to see two slightly different views of beauty. These first two are the same bloom, different zoom.

Gorgeous! Our roses are all done, unfortunately, though there's a nice crop of rosehips coming. Perhaps, I'll try photographing those some morning - though it'll be hard to pry myself away from coffee time with Luke and Jackie.

The suggestion/rant about the WTC and it's "Access Club" and overfilled events is here. I still don't understand what's so hard about managing a wait list.

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!" -- Randy Pausch

My question: Is pain a brick wall? You can discuss in the comments section of that blog posting.
